Actress Helena Bonham Carter has given an interview for the Dish Rag Blog on Zap2It.com in which the Bellatrix Lestrange actress spoke briefly of the role of her character in the “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows” films. Describing Bellatrix as a “horrible… not a cuddly, creature,” she goes on to say:

She is sort of Voldemort’s right hand woman and she’s sadistic and I’ve killed. I do really horrible things… I killed Sirius Black ages ago. I kill Dobby in this one, and I torture Hermione.

Oh, that’s what’s fun is… I got to pretend to be Hermione because Hermione takes this potion that makes her look like me. I had to act Hermione pretending to be me… It was fun being seventeen.

The interview continues with Helena Bonham Carter describing her admiration for the Trio; actors Dan Radcliffe (Harry Potter), Emma Watson (Hermione Granger), and Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley); as well as the stores she finds her often unique and offbeat clothes.The video is available to view here thanks to our amazing Galleries crew.The first part of “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows” is slated for a November 19th release, while the second part will arrive in theaters on July 15, 2011.

looking forward to deathly hallowsJane_Potter says: I will love this scene!!!Moose_Starr says: HBC is way nicer than her character lol :D
DH is going to be one awesome but sad movie to go see ... I'm so excited already tho :)cghambright says: I can't wait to see DH!! Helena is a genius actress. She's so nice and bubbly in real life, but when she plays Bellatrix she's pure evil. I love it. It's going to be very sad to see her torture Hermione (my favorite character). That part was cringe-worthy in the book. And poor Dobby. :(moglet says: I'm really looking forward to that scene but as I imagine it is going to be in the second film what a long time we will have to wait. dobbykreacherunited says: i just LOVE her!!! shes an amazing actress and never dssapoints!!!!!!
looking forward to deathly hallowshermy007 says: OH MAN!! i didn't know really until now that this part was going to be in the movies... (i knew the dobby scene was, i saw a pic about that...) but i didn't know for sure about the torturing of hermione part was going to be in. it was soo intense in the book, it's going to be difficult for me to watch in theaters in 2011. she's pretty much my fav character, it'll be sad for me, but the scene where hbc is acting like hermione whoi s trying to act like her will be fun. next summer can't come fast enough!eiVega says: Hearing her talk about torturing Hermoine and killing Dobby gave me chills!

I look forward to seeing her give her final act as Bellatrix in the last two films. Helena is certainly a talented actress and I am looking forward to watching her contributions to Alice in Wonderland next week!alicia00 says: i ant what to c it on flimgingerr_kat says: Her mannerisms were so funny in the interview...just how she talked and the random things she did to show off her clothes when asked about them...and how she was eating throughout the whole thing.
A true sign that she's a good actress is she talks about her character as if it was her. "I killed Sirius Black ages ago"
I'm really excited to see her as Hermione as Bellatrix. We'll get to see her interpretation of Emma Watson as Hermione and also her interpretation of a seventeen year old girl.

Seeing as Helena Bonham Carter excels in every role she is cast in, I can't wait to see how she acts as Hermione. It will be a very interesting scene! The Malfoy Manor and Gringotts scenes will be great, just because she's in it. Her performance in HBP was phenomenal, and it sent chills down my spine.jacket says: She's so great!
